Vibrapod Isolators and Cones

I don't know if anyone else has had a similar experience, but:

I ordered a set of Vibrapod Isolators and Cones two months ago when I was ordering some other things from the Cable Company. It took me a few weeks to even start playing with them. I ended up with the cones under my solid state power amps and the isolators under my tube preamp.

I was skeptical but am COMPLETELY blown away. The soundstage is deeper. Everything seems cleaner. My speakers (gallo ref 3.1s) just disappeared. On my best recordings I got this sometimes, but this is true across all good recordings.

I think the two sets might have set me back $30 in all. Worth a try without a doubt.

Beware - they will put marks on many surfaces which will be very difficult to remove. This is a known issue.

tpreaves: i have a feeling that they helped 'correct' a specific issue for me. i basically had the power amps sitting on a brick shelf in front of the fireplace behind and between the speakers. my gut is that the vibrapods are helping most there where i did not have any kind of stand or rack.

jax2: thanks for the heads up.
